Guests Behaviour during your stay
As we are a backpackers with a number of guests on-site, we request that all guests are respectful and considerate to fellow guests. We like to provide all guests with a pleasant environment, enjoyable for all. As part of this, we request that excessive noise is kept to a minimum during the hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. This helps ensure all fellow guests can rest and relax and enjoy a full night’s sleep. Please appreciate that during these night hours other fellow guests are trying to sleep, and are often tired from their travels.
Cleanliness of our facilities
We take great pride in providing facilities that are kept clean and tidy for all our guests. With all our bathroom facilities and shared communal areas, we undertake a main clean each morning, 7 days a week. This is followed up with a further clean and tidy, which occurs throughout the day, as and when required.
If we are staying a number of days how often are the rooms serviced?
As part of our standard management practice, with most guests staying less than one week, most rooms are serviced at the point of check out. However, if you would like your room to be serviced or have towels / sheets etc changed on a daily basis, just let us know. For visitors staying for one week or longer, our standard practice is to service your room on a weekly basis.

All rooms include an oil filled heater, suitable in size for each respective room. With this type of heating, being exceptionally safe, you can leave the heater running on overnight to keep you warm. In addition, all beds are fitted with an electric blanket. If for some unknown reason, there is an issue with your electric blanket or heater, please let us know and we will happily address this.
